    Your most valuable asset is your network.

    It’s not what you know or who you know, but who knows you.

    Susan Roanne

    People know people. Everyone has played the Kevin Bacon game where everyone in the world is connected to Kevin Bacon in six degrees of separation. Who do you need to connect with? Each new person that knows you will exponentially increase the amount of resources and opportunities that are available to you. Leverage you network for what you need.

    Make yourself professional and pleasant to be around. Provide value to those close to you. Build a reputation for who you are. Be honest and open with people so they can help you. The more people know about you the more they can connect with you.

    Blog #173 – Unconditional LOVE

    Who do you show unconditional love to?

    Who shows unconditional love to you?

    These are the real people in your life. The conversations with these people are unlike any other that you would have. The thing is people show love in many different ways. Some people show love by giving people gifts. Some people show love by showering people with compliments. Some people show love by worrying endlessly about the other person. Some people show love by the way the touch the other person. Some people show love by being brutaly honest with people. Some of these ways to show love can be misconstrued by the other person. This is misunderstood because we often forget the first step. The first step is to let them know how much we care about them. If we are on the receiving end of this tough love then we must assume how much the other person cares.

    People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

  • Blog #40 – Let’s be Honest Here

    Honesty and dishonest are a fork in the road. Each one goes to some place else. Once you chose one you are on that road. You will keep making that decision to stay on that road because if you want to chose the other road you will have to go all the way back to the original fork.

    If you are dishonest with yourself or anyone it leads to mistrust.

    Trust is a castle that must be protected. The castle can be as strong as stone or as weak as sand. The more honest you are the stronger the castle will be. Each time you say something true and follow through with your promises you are building this trust castle. The castle only gets stronger or it collapses. If something is done to lose that trust then the castle melts away like sand and cannot be rebuilt.

    This is true for trusting other people, them trusting you, and you trusting yourself.
